Automatic Disengagement

Automatic disengagement typically occurs due to a

failure. Automatic disengagement is annunciated by a

ﬂashing ‘AP’, alternating red on white and white on red in

the Autopilot Status ﬁeld. Also, the autopilot disconnect

aural alert will be heard. Both the annunciation and the

aural alert will continue until acknowledged by pressing

the AP DISC button or the MET ARM switch. The Yaw

Damper may or may not disengage, depending on the

cause of the automatic AP disengagement.

Manual Disengagement

The autopilot may also be manually disengaged

by pressing the AP DISC button, the

GA button, the

MET ARM switch, or by pressing the AP key on the MFD.

Manual disengagement is annunciated by a ﬁve-second

ﬂashing yellow ‘AP’ in the Autopilot Status ﬁeld and by

a two-second Autopilot disconnect aural alert. The Yaw

Damper will also disengage with the autopilot.

Control Wheel Steering

Pressing and holding the CWS button disengages the

servos from the ﬂight control surfaces and allows manual

manuevering of the aircraft. At the same time, the ﬂight

director is synchronized to the aircraft attitude during the

maneuver. The ‘AP’ annunciation is temporarily replaced

by ‘CWS’ in white until the CWS button is released.

Yaw Damper

When the autopilot is engaged, the Yaw Damper is

automatically engaged. When the Yaw Damper is active,

the ‘YD’ annunciation appears in the Yaw Damper Status

ﬁeld as shown:

Yaw Damper is active.

Figure 6-9 Yaw Damper Active

To disengage the Yaw Damper, press the YD key. The

‘YD’ annunciation turns yellow and ﬂashes for ﬁve seconds

upon disengagement:

Yaw Damper is disengaging.

6.4 LOSS OF DATA

In general, a ﬂashing yellow mode annunciation

indicates either the loss of sensor data (AHRS, ADC,

or GIA) or loss of navigation data (VOR, LOC, or GPS)

required to compute commands.

When such a loss occurs, the system automatically

reverts to the default mode for the affected axis (ROL for

roll axis, PIT for pitch axis). The ﬂashing annunciation

stops when the pilot presses the affected mode button or

selects another mode for the axis. If no pilot action is

taken, the ﬂashing annunciation stops after ten seconds.

6.5 PITCH AXIS MODES

Mode annunciations for active pitch axis modes are

shown in green during normal operation. Note the Go-

Around button is not located on the MFD.
